Went on Profishonal charters out of Lyttleton. Good value at only $200 for four hour fishing at a spot two hours from the wharf. Catch was Grouper mostly. Or Hapuka for you North Island types.

Xmas in the BOI is great for kings as long as the baitschools are in, Fish are in the 8-15kg range and can stack up some good numbers days, but mainly livebaiting. Pacific Pirate with Derek, SpotX with Hamish, Dayz Out with Darren are all great options.
Bronzies can sometimes be a Pain in the arse but not normally too bad late dec, early jan but thats just the way it goes.
If you end up in the BOI and its raining then you can come and drink Beer in my garage, as long as you bring your own beer

Check out this guy:  http://snapfishingventures.com/ I haven't met Nik in many years but he is the real deal

If it is kings you want I'd give Waiheke a miss, plenty there but I doubt there would be many kingfish specialists.

Phil Barchet also has a good reputation, I've never fished with him though:  https://www.facebook.com/phil.barchet

There will be many many more but you need to search for those who specialise in kingfish.

If you get hold of Coastal Fishing Charters, they operate out of East Cape which is at least 7 hours south of Auckland, he may have a crew looking for an extra. Arron Sargent is one of the best around: https://www.facebook.com/coastal.f.charters

Hey crew. 

So im coming to NZ for 3 weeks at xmas time. Haven't been there for 20 years. Im an avid fisher here in Sydney but yeh really want to get into the country a bit and catch some fish. I love good charter trips and have been on some **** ones. But a good one. Amazing. You learn so much. Catch quality over quantity every time. 

I have a few questions. How bad is La Niña there? Here it is miserable. If I fly off to NZ and head to the bay of islands will I be sitting in a backpackers hostel watching it rain. 

I am looking to jump on share charters, can't afford whole boats if I am here for 3 weeks. I want kings and more kings. Dont want to catch king terakhi Have all the gear. Top water rods and jigging stuff. 

I haven't done the bay of islands so charter recommendation for there would be mad. 

I haven't done Waiheke island so charter reconditions for there would be nice.

I was in the coromandel and fished the mussel farms but would like to see other areas like hot water beach and yeh reconditions around there. 

I love the surf so Raglan sounds cool so reconditions around there. 

Any other towns that you could recommend it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Having a 4 day break at Paihia next week & as don't fancy towing the boat there & back in the hope of the weather co operating am thinking of going on a charter.

Fairly flexible but not too expensive so imagine would be looking for a kingi or puka expedition & maybe with suitable gear supplied to save having to pack it up & back.

Any suggestions or recommendations ?
